Course Info
The camera is there, the motivation too – but you still do not know how to produce a movie? Perfect, you can stop worrying because you’ve found what you’re looking for!
In this intensive 15 hours course, our filmmaker instructor will provide you with basics of writing, directing, camera and digital editing, and each student writes, directs, shoots, and edits a short film project.
Each week a different production step is discussed, for each topic there are new exercises and a week to implement them. Best of all: emerging difficulties, problems or questions can be discussed, explained, solved, and avoided the next time!
In these weeks you will be completely immersed in the subject matter, working intensively with your camera and various techniques and improving yourself from week to week. This comprehensive course program provides the perfect foundation for our advanced courses.
